I have had the lump since I was 15 and I'm 22 ,it is still there .What is the cause and how can I remove it?
Brief Answer:
NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
Detailed Answer:
THe cause cannot be determined without examining you.
A SPecialist has to examine the lump physically.
Then a mammogram and ultrasound would be done, also a biopsy if required, to know the exact nature of the lump.
Most benign lumps can be surgically removed.
Take care.
